Gil Jordan, Private Detective: Murder by High Tide

A sly, single-issue revival of the classic Franco-Belgian detective series, Gil Jordan, Private Detective: Murder by High Tide (2011–present, Fantagraphics) pairs original creator Maurice Tillieux’s art with a new script by Jenna Allen. This standalone story drops the dapper sleuth into a coastal mystery, offering a crisp, self-contained case for fans of vintage European crime comics. While brief, it’s a loving, respectful nod to Tillieux’s legacy, keeping Gil Jordan’s sharp wit and noirish charm alive for a new generation.
